Carboot sales - a British obsession

Tonight tens of thousands of people are checking the weather and frantically packing their cars - for tomorrow is a the British bargain hunters most favourite day ....SUNDAY!

Every Sunday morning across the UK tens of thousands of sellers and hundreds of thousands of buyers will flock to fields and car parks across the UK.

For as little as £5 anyone can turn up and sell anything they like (within the law - or sometimes on the edge of it!). It is a bargain hunters dream. You can, and literally do find anything! From old toys to vintage clothing, from a copper kettle to a gold ring - almost everything you can think of will be available to buy in fields all across the UK tomorrow morning.

This most popular British pastime is something that is now ingrained across the United Kingdom - and continues to go from strength to strength. It is a great place to sell some items you no longer want cheaply to clear space, and a wonderful place to find all kinds of treasures hiding amongst the junk.

Many incredible items have been found at carboot sales including a a ring bought for £10 that recently sold at auction for £657,000, Ming vases, and Gold. But mainly it is a place for a walk in the hopefully nice weather - a bit of banter and maybe a few interesting items at a fair price for all.

Sometimes its to hot, sometimes it rains and is a washout - but one thing is for certain... Every Sunday morning there will be hundreds of thousands of dreamers looking for the find of a lifetime in a Field in the UK
